________________ 550 Alex Wayman (131) "attraction": the sequence should be first non-attraction and second attraction. Non-attraction is the on-going reality of Mahavajradhara, namely the "nirvana without fixed abode" because not fixed in samsara or in (quiescent) nirvana. Attraction is the mind clinging to the images of the deities, and so on. "the jewel of that knowledge": answers the question, after being free from attraction, what arises from attraction? The jewel is like a wish-granting gem, i. e. consciousness attracts automatical ly by dint of the collections.

Hence, the | byan chub sems zes yan dag bsad // right explanation of bodhicitta is by "attraction" and "non-attraction". (132) "bodhicitta" : when from non-attraction, is the Dharmakaya. when is the mind that clings with attraction, is the Sambhogakaya and the Nirmanakaya. Hence, both bodhicitta is "the right explanation of bodhicitta."

The two contem, der ni thabs kyi sgom pa dag/ plations of means in those, confer all | dnos grub thams cad ster ba yin | magical success. (133) "magical success of mudra": for example, those of the body, speech, and mind of the gods; the yogin is fulfilled by those images. "means": performance. "contemplations": mental orientations, without interruption. According to precepts, the contempla: tion with attraction is the mental orientation (manasikara) to the body, speech, and mind, as mind-only (cittamatra); the contemplation free from attraction is the mental orientation by way of non-image (anakara) like the sky. "all magical success": accomplishment of the three Bodies.

The way / ji ltar gdul bya dag gyur pa / the candidates would be pure (unfortu | zen pa kun du mchod par gyur // nately) amounts to worship of clinging. (134) "worship of clinging": not the way to get pure, nor the way to accomplish the three Bodies.
